BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> doubtless attends the best parties at burning man too, but what man would eat from that hand, party with those tools << AHA, appropriates hippy backpacker/sailing culture
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd propose 'a moxie' , a la 'a preet', fairly large group of very similar kanzure-style politruks
asciilifeform: in contrast with, e.g., a boeck : who is 'technically' flavoured ( i.e. mouthpiece for dropping vulns usg wants 'burned' )
asciilifeform: a moxie is more of a 'gift of gab' item. writes 'trendy' 'pgp is obsolete' treatises, appears at 'best' parties , inevitably consulted at 'seekooority cons', 'podcasts', inevitably shills for multicoloured-phone-of-the-day vendors, never skips a chance to 'plug for' other moxies ; appeals to boecks for 'technical cred'.
asciilifeform: afaik krebs is -- possibly -- the best-known moxie .
shinohai: zing
asciilifeform: ( who's krebs ? http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1719 << biography. )
shinohai: Sometimes the stars align nicely, and the universe sends German girls that are curious to know what ancient woodworking tools are and are willing to show tits for said knowledge: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1513380843137.jpg

asciilifeform: the bonus lul is that this deathray case seems to revolve around < 3-4 coinz
asciilifeform: if that.
mircea_popescu: aha. well, it IS a lot of worthless fiat nao.
mircea_popescu: think : victim missed the opportunity to stuff magic marker in butt for TEN coins, not so long ago.
asciilifeform: just about 'за колоски' (tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: now gets larger, warmer implement for much less.
asciilifeform: could as easily say that the arse inserter in turn missed buying 10btc for the 5bux the marker cost, few yrs before
asciilifeform: everybody missed sumthing
mircea_popescu: word.
asciilifeform: picture, chix gets 20y , for less than the 5btc asciilifeform cremated at bitbet
mircea_popescu: seems fair.
asciilifeform awaits the first fractional-btc deathray trial.
mircea_popescu: year or two ?
mircea_popescu: technically .5 btc is "more money than zek is pewrmitted to have" as it is. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform , re the question of "where's pantsuit rembrandt" : perhaps that 88 yo
mircea_popescu: he has all the makings of could-have-been-euler-but-married.
mircea_popescu: "instead of the speed of light, favoured other speeds that '''are much more important to (((us)))'''".
asciilifeform: for some reason reminds me of the su prisoners who , legendarily , got 5, 6 school diplomas each, because kept signing up again and again, teacher is the only chix in the joint after all

BingoBoingo: You are now voiced
BingoBoingo: To talk in the channel, type and hit enter
iangeker: it means I can send a message to the channel now?
iangeker: thank you!
BingoBoingo: Yes, generally it isn't polite to talk to strangers privately except to ask for a loan of voice
BingoBoingo: iangeker: Introduce yourself
iangeker: I am introduced to here by Shannon, I am suppose to have an interview with Mircea. So I am waiting for the interview. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: iangeker: Ah, if he doesn't respond now he will be on later to read what you type.
BingoBoingo: The channel has logs here http://btcbase.org/log/
BingoBoingo: It probably would not hurt your cause here if you offered some information on your background while we await mircea_popescu ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Ah ~30 here atm
esthlos: I've been trying to wrap my head around TMSR
esthlos: my background is as a lisper and mathematician ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: esthlos: Well, what portions do you stub the toes on in your dark?
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i'll put it this way
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i know enough about computing to know that asciilifeform is right about the general idiocy
esthlos: BingoBoingo: and my guess is that you guys view fiat currency like lispers view most programming ☟︎
BingoBoingo: esthlos: So what that idiocy does to machines supposedly made to do math... Understand that same idoicy is pointed at far softer targets for great destruction.
BingoBoingo: TMSR is not primarily a currency thing.
BingoBoingo: TMSR is a self and world improvement society of fellows and fellas working to maximally empower the smart and maximally handicap the idiocy
BingoBoingo: There's even a TMSR fiat currency which operates alongside Bitcoin here, see http://trilema.com/2017/the-ecu/
esthlos: BingoBoingo: interesting
BingoBoingo: Consider the problem where the pantsuit regime has declared flirting bad unless fat chicks do it.
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i've been considering hacking around with eurola, its seems like a game which actually rewards intelligence ☟︎
esthlos: unlike most, where beating the underlying game (through code) is woefully out of scope
BingoBoingo: I've heard great things about it as well, but my work has sucked me down a different Republican rabbit hole.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the thing to do now is register a GPG key with deedbot, preferrably before you depart.
BingoBoingo: That way when you return it is possible to know you are you.
esthlos: alright
BingoBoingo: There's also logs to read, 2013 is a good read.
esthlos: i've been reading, but its hard to pull together a narrative ☟︎
esthlos: so i've been blasting through the blogs of the 'lords'
BingoBoingo: Ah, the general admission exercise is reading six months of logs. Sometimes this is interpreted as the most recent, others suppose there is a "most correct" six months.
